Six years of yongzheng recommended by the prince of yi in jingdezhen for NianXiYao overseers tao affairs, to qianlong 21 years, b twenty-eight years, successively Que tao later called “tang kiln”. Tang Yingchu to jingdezhen, the kiln for vacant and then “and went thank friends, admired god, hard work, and the craftsmen with the feed rate three years”, then the “material, temperature, g principle… quite a lot of changes in the smoke more flexible way”. B during du tao, imitation of ancient ancient jun ZhuQi shaw, at the same time, efforts to create all kinds of test, the unit “of the” new exquisite handwork, so have to engraved look, ornamental, and exquisite porcelain, think of opportunely tiancheng turn flask and turn the heart of a bottle, rotating bowl, etc. Refer to the listing, visible: “qianlong, seventeen years December 30th YuanWaiLang Bai Shixiu eunuch Hu Shijie pay: the color statue of a rotating gourd, choi ji red gall bladder a, the flavour choi ji qing guanyin bottle a (each with wood), regards: insert statue, each bottle with ivory flowers, within its honour AnJi qing, to beg, inside qin this”. Turn from it, we refer to know the heart gourd bottle should be the colour of this document for the rotating bottle gourd, combined with the emperor qianlong during the seventeen years for b du tao, so the work should be from the angel Que tao Tang Yingzhi hand, tribute palace to cater to the idea.

“figure will deliberately, meaning auspicious” is the characteristic of the era of qing dynasty porcelain and royal porcelain. The gourd cultivation has a long history in our country. Book Bei songs wind “cloud:” 28-volume bitterness, leaf dhi involved deep “; “The deep and remote wind” cloud: “eat the melon in July, August broken pot”; “Lesser” cloud: “south have wood, gump panhu tired of”. The “28-volume”, “pot”, “gansu panhu” shall mean the gourd.

according to records in qianlong accounts file: emperor qianlong in the eighteenth year of May 12 regards, jingdezhen imperial life which du tao b, “fire dragon boat hit (wrestling) fights the rotating a bottle”, whereas b firing time is at the beginning of the 19th November 4th. Revolving bottles of each parts size should be calculated, firing repeatedly, and in all parts after the success of the fire, in addition, the temperature at which the fire temperature control is extremely important, once appear a little deformation will be disqualified. Do a revolving bottles of 18 months, it take nearly a year and a half time, the complicated technology and difficult firing process, make known examples of each bottle which transform the mind is priceless. Revolving bottle is b during the period of qianlong du tao research successful, after the death of b final stop due to production is difficult to burn, guangxu dynasty is generic, but were unable to reach the level of the reign of qianlong, after the generic ended in failure, and so little quantity production due to cost greatly. This exquisite heart bottle personally supervise the fire by b, its inside and outside in pastel drawing, to be secondary to burn, so yield is extremely low, be engraved look gourd shape is more valuable, and may not be a.
“the eight immortals” derived from the legendary eight immortals of Taoism, before the Ming dynasty opinions differ, the name of the eight immortals fairy listed each are not identical. Wu Yuantai Ming dynasty written by “the eight immortals source east travel notes” in the “sea” the story of the widely circulated, determines the now call the eight immortals. The eight immortals often appear in the palace of art, as a decorative pattern, often to the character, only carved held by the hands of the eight immortals, the so-called dark the eight immortals. Dark the eight immortals in the fan on behalf of han zhong, lu dongbin, represented by “sword with hoist and crutches, li3 tie3 turn to board on behalf of the prince’s maternal uncle cao Yin and Yang, and, as a flower basket on behalf of the blue to YuGu (or description tube and dust) on behalf of zhang guolao, with the flute representative han xiang, lotus or produced on behalf of xiangu.
